Well put MCzyzewska
Kids don't understand that the school board makes the desicions and not Christie when it comes to laying off teachers. Maybe if the school board used some common sense for a change we wouldn't have this problem

After reading some of the comments I had to post my opinion. I agree with many of the people who state that the kids just want a day off from school, they really don't understand taxes or politics simply because it's not something taught in the classrooms. But my main point here is Christie is running the state like a business which is what we need. Many teachers make over 100K, pension and free health care. On top of that the administration makes even more and does much less. I need to pay into my 401K, I need to pay into my health care and many of us do. Increaseing taxes will create bigger problems like more foreclosures. Kids don't understand this. Teachers need to pay in something, sorry but that's life and there's no reason for the head of the NJEA to have a salary of over 1/4 of a million, come on!!!!
